Net Assessment and Military Strategy: Retrospective and Prospective Essays (Rapid Communications in Conflict & Security Series)

This extraordinary book gives the reader unparalleled insights into the past 50 years of Pentagon strategy-making and, likely, that of the next 50 years as well. The writers shine light on the big ideas, debates, turf wars, policies, programs, activities, and people that helped win the Cold War and shape the world we live in today. The authors are a collection of some of the finest and brightest minds to walk the halls of American power. They write with understated clarity and precision, each sharing what parts of their secret work they can by law. The mosaic that emerges is fascinating.

Good book

本書はペンタゴンのネットアセスメント室長であったアンドリュー･マーシャルがイントロダクションを執筆し、CSBAの所長であったトーマス･マンケンが編集した作品です。270頁の洋書ですが、様々な著者が各章を担当しており、それぞれがそこまで長くないため、苦労せず読むことが出来ます。『帝国の参謀』と合わせて読むと良いでしょう。
